The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following 10 areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Cloud computing 3. Emergent Intelligence 4. Service systems and Engineering 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.

The original recommended practice, issued in 2010, provided all parties in the information supply chain with straightforward guidance about metadata formatting-focused mainly on journal resources-to ensure the exchange of accurate metadata between content providers and knowledge base developers. Building on the initial recommendations, the revision includes the more granular, complex issues that cause problems in metadata supply, including consortia-specific metadata and metadata transfer for open access publications, e-books, and conference proceedings. "The value of the KBART format is that it can be used for both human-readable and machine-readable purposes and can be a low cost approach to effective knowledge base metadata transfer for publishers," states Magaly Bascones, Data Manager at Jisc Collections and Co-chair of the KBART Working Group. "Since the first Recommended Practice was issued, over 75 publishers and content providers have endorsed KBART and demonstrated their commitment to good quality metadata provision. With implementation of the KBART recommendations, users can be assured that the providers' metadata is trusted and has the required level of granularity without the burdensome task of title-by-title checking. All of the existing endorsements will go through an updating procedure to ensure conformance with the revised Recommended Practice." "The experience of endorsing publishers and feedback from a survey of libraries and consortia identified the areas of focus for this expanded KBART revision," explains Chad Hutchens, University of Wyoming Libraries Head of Digital Collections and Digital Resources Librarian, and Co-chair of the KBART Working Group. "Historically, it has been difficult for libraries and linking vendors to obtain accurate title list data for customized consortia packages and the new KBART recommendations encourage content providers to establish metadata feeds specific to these packages. The recommendations also address some of the unique needs for open access publications, e-books, and conference proceedings by updating some of the required and optional metadata fields included in a KBART transmission." "The KBART project will now be transferred to Standing Committee status within NISO," states Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "This Committee will be responsible for managing the endorsement process, providing ongoing education and promotion of KBART, and maintaining the Information Hub on the NISO website that provides supporting materials about KBART-including the KBART Glossary, endorsement information, a registry of knowledge base supply chain contacts, and background information on OpenURL and knowledge bases." The KBART Recommended Practice and the KBART Information Hub with its supporting materials are available on the NISO website at: www.niso.org/workrooms/kbart Cynthia Hodgson Technical Editor / Consultant National Information Standards Organization chodgson at niso.org 301-654-2512 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Procedure - Please email Kate Joranson, k.joranson at gmail.com, briefly describing your interest in the topic as well as your professional background. Upon acceptance, we will work with you to develop questions to shape the panel's discussion Deadline - Monday May 5 Summary of Panel Browsing is an essential component to discovery, yet these terms have become conflated. From library databases to online shopping, our ability to effectively browse for content has become hampered by an excessive focus on searchability. This panel will cultivate a discussion of the potential for browsing in the electronic environment, cultivated serendipity, and curiosity. This panel will bring together experts from inside and outside of libraries to discuss why electronic browsing is broken and how, or if, it can be fixed. The panelists will briefly present their perspective on the problems of electronic browsing and then will participate in a conversation facilitated by the moderator. Questions to be addressed by all panelists include: Where do we place the burden for facilitating discovery? Why/how are our databases failing us/our users? What do they need to do differently? What do you wish were possible in a ebrowsing and discovery environment? Why is this not possible? What is preventing a more creative approach to electronic browsing and discovery? Through these questions and discussions we hope to drive at the heart of the problems of electronic browsing in our current digital library environment, and to understand how our discovery systems arrived where they are today (search-focused) and how we might reset the balance between search and browse in the discovery experience. - Nina Clements, Steve VanTuyl, and Kate Joranson are project collaborators at ebrowsing.org <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Steve Van Tuyl Data Services Librarian Carnegie Mellon University - University Libraries Pittsburgh, PA 15213 www.cmu.edu/research/data-management p| 412.268.6107 e| svantuyl at andrew.cmu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
